You will have mixed feelings. I think that is normal when it comes down to Surgery time. I started thinking of all the what ifs but it didnt add up to all the struggling I went through on all the different diets that you can possibly think of. I am almost 4 mths out and it was the best decision ever. I started at 233 and I am down to 167 today. Its Awesome!!! The first couple days are a little tough but so worth it. You can do this!!! Prayers your way!!

Hello Quita, my surgery is 9/25, right there with you. I was going to do the lap band at first because at the time insurance only covered lap band or gastric bypass. As time went on during my dr visits I asked if the sleeve was covered and it was. That's when I made my decision about the sleeve and I'm ready because I know in the long run it will be best for me. As far as the comments that other people saying don't do it, most will I had some co workers tell me the same thing because they think the surgery will make you look sick or old but you have to tell them that this is not he bypass it's different still they might not understand. Just do it for your health and just you and keep on moving.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
